Winter Days

What have we been up to in this winter weather? Well, Chloe is becoming quite the artist - she could easily spend her entire day drawing on any piece of paper given to her. I finally have a use for all my old work notepads!


and....this 'little' project has been taking up my time!

It's a 1,500 piece puzzle...probably the largest puzzle I've ever put together. Kevin helped by fitting in 3 pieces, putting up with the card table in our living room, and finding a piece (the last one actually) that had fallen on the floor. He also insisted on taking my picture with it - which helps show how large the puzzle is!

I've also been going through all my "Chloe Pictures" to save to our external hard drive. What kind of crazy parent takes a picture of her child every day for a year? I hope to do it again for Baby #2! :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...
